Strawberry Picking


The strawberries are pretty much gone around here...moving into blueberry season - our favorite! Here's a layout I did with the pics from a couple of weeks ago.

Friday night??

It's Friday night already? How did that happen? Well...I spent the majority of yesterday in the hospital with kidney stones...again. Ugh - no fun at all. I got 4 rounds of pain meds (the last round made me giddy for sure!), blood work done and a CT scan. The doctor confirmed that there is indeed a stone trying to make it's way out - thus the terrible pain. I went home and slept pretty much until 2:00 this afternoon. I called into work because there is no way that I have enough energy to be able to work. So...somehow I missed pretty much a whole day! :)

Hopefully this stone will pass and tomorrow will be a semi-normal day!

Have a great weekend!

Birthday Fun

An odd Saturday night post from me! I'm usually at work on Saturday nights, but took off today to go to my niece's third birthday party. Beatrice had a princess party -very cute! The kids dressed up (Abigail was Cinderella, I made Henry a Prince Charming shirt), made cute crowns, heard a story read by Cinderella, had a pinata and had ice cream cake. Fun times!

Here We Go Again...

Colin got a call today...

He's getting a new placement for teaching this fall...his sixth in six years...ugh.
He'll be back at the high school teaching social studies again. We don't know specifically which part of social studies or which grade, just that it will indeed be social studies in the high school. This is what he has taught so far:
1st year - elementary art (various grades)
2nd year - first grade art
3rd year - high school civics
4th year - high school geography
5th year - middle school art
6th year - high school social studies of some sort

It's hard to stay positive, but somehow Colin does. We are truly thankful that he has a job - that's the most important thing. He had a great year this year teaching art and really enjoyed working with Paul, the other art teacher. It's going to be tough switching once again.
